After Master Cheng led them to the hall, he looked at Li Jinran and the others, and then asked kindly: "Girl, who are these?"

"This is my sister and brother-in-law. They took me in." Xiaoying replied coldly.

"Thank you both for taking care of me. May I ask your surnames?" Master Cheng asked with a smile.

"Jin Ranran."

"Yu Jue."

The two used false names again.

Now that he has a plan, Grand Master Cheng just smiled at the two people's indifference and said, "I wonder why you two came here this time?"

"Xiaoying said she was homesick, so we brought her here to see her." Li Jinran said nonsense seriously.

Cheng Taishi was happy: "I'm homesick, okay, Xiaoying, you can live here with peace of mind from now on. Just tell grandpa if you need anything."

"Your Majesty, Miss Ying revealed her identity and brought Miss Jin and Mr. Yu into the Taishi Mansion."

After hearing the guard's report, Hua Zhichu raised his head with a puzzled look on his face. In order to prevent Grand Master Cheng from causing trouble, he sent people to keep an eye on the Grand Master's Mansion twelve hours a day, and by the way, pay attention to people who had close contacts with Grand Master Cheng.

He suddenly wanted to inherit the throne and caught Taishi Cheng off guard. He would definitely wait for the opportunity.

"Keep watching. If Xiaoying is in any danger, save her." Hua Zhichu ordered with a solemn expression.

The guard clasped his fists and retreated. Hua Zhichu fell into deep thought. Under his orders, all the ladies from various families in the capital went to the Tiannv Temple, but no one was successfully selected.

There seemed to be some invisible obstacles around the altar of Tiannv Temple. All the women who stepped into the altar fainted inexplicably, but recovered after leaving the altar.

Helpless, he had to ask suitable women to be sent from various places. If Xiyue Kingdom was to be stabilized, the altar of the Tiannv Temple must be opened.

Because Li Jinran was worried about Xiaoying and Bei Yujue, they also lived in the Taishi Mansion together.

The people in Taishi's Mansion were not happy, especially the direct sons and grandsons of Taishi Cheng. However, they did not dare to say anything under Taishi Cheng's scolding.

In the study, Cheng Xiangmeng asked with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Dad, why do you want that bastard who is against girls to live in the Grand Master's Mansion?"

Grand Master Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, with a calculating look on his face, "Don't you think she looks a lot like that rebellious girl? Doesn't the Emperor miss that rebellious girl? Wouldn't it be possible to contain the Emperor by sending her to the palace?"

"This bastard didn't grow up in the Taishi Mansion. If she was as rebellious as her mother and was not under our control, wouldn't her hard work be in vain?" Cheng Xiangmeng said solemnly.

"How can we still handle a twelve or thirteen-year-old child?" Master Cheng said confidently.

Cheng Xiangmeng nodded, "That's true."

During lunch, Grand Master Cheng specially called everyone in the mansion to have a meal in the dining hall.

Except for Master Cheng and Cheng Xianmeng, everyone was basically here. That is, Master Cheng's direct children, aunts and concubines in the mansion were not here, and they were not qualified to come.

"Hey, the bastard is here."

Xiaoying knew the speaker, her aunt, Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Xianmeng's wife. When her mother brought her back, it was the same aunt who scolded her mother harshly.

Just as Li Jinran was about to speak, Xiaoying stopped her and shook her head at her. Although she didn't know what Xiaoying wanted to do, Li Jinran respected her wishes.

"Auntie, we are all grandpa's children. If I am a bastard, wouldn't grandpa be an old bastard? Who are the people here?" Xiaoying glanced at everyone and said expressionlessly.
